Jun. 8, 2018 - As a member of New York City’s LGBTQ community, I have long been passionate about ensuring that queer and trans folks have access to culturally competent mental health care. I identify as a peer – someone who receives mental health services – but had been in remission from major depressive disorder since 2012. I have been thrilled in recent years to live symptom-free, thrive professionally as a social worker and writer, and enjoy many close relationships.
